A former Southern University football player was killed on Interstate 110, allegedly shot by a onetime friend who was in the car with him.
A Denham Springs tractor-trailer driver was slain during an armed robbery at a downtown gas station.
And a 16-year-old girl was shot to death. Police say she was killed by a man she refused to have sex with.
These victims are among the 83 people slain in East Baton Rouge Parish last year, two more than the 81 homicide victims parishwide in 2011.
Although more people were killed last year than in 2011, and the number of homicides in the parish has generally been on the rise since 2005, the tide might be turning, LSU sociology professor Edward Shihadeh said.
Unlike previous years, more than half of 2012's 83 killings, 49, occurred during the first half of the year, leaving the last six months with a significant decrease in homicides.
Almost all of the 15 killings the Sheriff's Office investigated last year occurred between January and June. During the first eight months of 2012, the Police Department averaged more than seven homicides a month. That average dropped to three during the last four months of the year, bringing the agency's total to 67, three more than in 2011.
Shihadeh said he's convinced the dip in homicides during the latter part of 2012 is in large part because of beefed-up law enforcement efforts combined with enhanced community policing initiatives, such as the Baton Rouge Violence Elimination project, a new crime-fighting program focused on the 70805 ZIP code.
"The trend is right," he said. "If we continue along this path, we could have a good 2013."
Already this month, however, there have been four unrelated homicides in the parish: one on Jan. 5 and three within a five-hour period on Thursday.
East Baton Rouge Parish District Attorney Hillar Moore III said it's too early to claim even a small victory, but it looks like changes are occurring, especially in 70805, an area that has seen the highest number of killings in the parish for the past several years, and as a result, became the focus of BRAVE in May.
Officials have said the program will curb violence by using statistical data to target criminals in the area and by employing tactics to change their behavior.
Homicides in the ZIP code — bordered by Airline Highway to the north and the east, Choctaw Drive to the south, and the Mississippi River to the west — decreased significantly in 2012.
Last year, 14 people were killed in the area, which, on average, has seen 20 homicides a year for the past three years.
The number of homicides in the area's neighboring ZIP code, however, increased. Last year, 23 homicides were committed in the 70802 ZIP code — bordered by Choctaw Drive to the north, the Mississippi River and Nicholson Drive to the west, LSU to the south, and North Foster Drive, North Street and Park Boulevard to the east — making it the ZIP code in the parish, instead of 70805, with the most killings last year.
Shihadeh said he does not believe that crime merely shifted from one ZIP code to another, but that crimes were indeed prevented in 70805, making 70802 look worse.
"Research generally shows a crime prevented is a crime prevented," he said. "It's not elbowed to another area."
Moore said there is no evidence of displacement, and that in other areas of the country where programs such as BRAVE have been deployed, displacement has not occurred.
"Drug dealers and groups cannot just move," he said. "If they do, they step on existing dealers' or groups' toes."
In addition, he said, 70802 has historically seen the second-highest number of homicides in the parish, and along with 70805, has always been an area of concern.
Regardless, Moore said, "This should not affect our focus."
"We will stay the course with the BRAVE model and continue to drive homicides down in 70805 because that is where we will have the biggest impact," he said. "Certainly once the model rolls out, 70802 will become the next area of focus."
Lt. Don Kelly, the police spokesman to whom Chief Dewayne White referred all questions, said a logical decision was made to start BRAVE in the 70805 ZIP code because it's the part of town that has been most plagued by crime.
But, Kelly said, the long-term plan is to eventually expand the model to other parts of the city as well. The Police Department's goal, he said, "is to reduce crime everywhere in Baton Rouge, not simply chase it from one part of the city to the other."
Kelly added that the Police Department's newly formed 70805 enforcement team, or BRAVE unit, hit the ground in June and began working closely with residents in that area to establish trust and enhance community involvement.
The network of contacts they've developed with residents of those neighborhoods has resulted in information that has led directly to the arrests of several murderers, armed robbers and major drug dealers, he said.
Kelly said officers also worked hard last year to target other high-crime areas, seize illegal weapons and arrest and book misdemeanor violators.
In May, Kelly said, the Police Department revamped its booking process, reducing the time officers are taken out of service when they make an arrest.
As a result, officers were able to make more arrests instead of issuing summonses, he said, adding that "oftentimes arresting someone and removing them from a volatile situation, even on a misdemeanor charge, keeps things from escalating into violence."
In August, Kelly said, the Police Department launched a street operations program, an overtime program aimed at curbing street-level drug dealing and the violence often associated with it.
So far, the program has resulted in more than 670 arrests and more than 100 guns being taken off the streets, he said.
"No one is claiming that murders dropped solely because of these programs," Kelly said, adding that violence is a societal problem with a variety of causes, many of which are beyond law enforcement's ability to control or affect. "But we certainly do believe that our efforts, combined with other enhanced community policing initiatives Chief White has made a priority, have made an impact."
Two things that didn't change last year from previous years were the motives for the majority of the killings in East Baton Rouge Parish and the types of people who were slain.
As in past years, the majority of homicides victims in 2012 were young black men. Moore said most homicide victims across the country are of the same demographic.
Thirty-five of the 83 killings in the parish occurred during domestic disputes, ongoing feuds or drug deals. Another three people were slain during armed robberies and three more died in revenge killings. The motives for the remaining 42 homicides are unknown.
Twelve women were slain last year as well as two children, a 2-month-old and an 8-year-old.
Moore said he remains concerned about what seems to be a high number of domestic violence cases in the parish and that such cases continue to be a priority for his office.
With the exception of domestic violence cases, Moore said, most of last year's homicides were in some way street-gang related, whether the homicides were carried out on behalf of a street gang, or the killer or victim was a street gang member.
Moore defined a street gang as a loosely-organized group of juveniles and young men who identify themselves under one name and have an elevated level of criminal activity. Street gangs, he said, are not nearly as organized as gangs such as the Crips and Bloods, which have a defined leader, pecking order and criminal enterprise.
East Baton Rouge Parish Sheriff Sid Gautreaux said five of the homicide cases his office worked last year were domestic in nature and that the rest of the cases usually involved people who knew each other.
The domestic cases, Gautreaux said, are difficult to prevent or predict because the victims often won't cooperate in the prosecution of their boyfriends' or husbands' beatings and other crimes that occur before the killing. The sheriff said he will continue to make domestic violence training a top priority for his deputies. He added that he will also maintain the balance between stringent enforcement and reaching out to the people who are most likely to be involved in crime through community work and education.
"We have to maintain our increased patrols and proactive community policing during the peak hours for crime," Gautreaux said. "We also have to continue our rehabilitative efforts at the prison to try and curb repeat offenders."
Moore said the entire community needs to get involved and residents need to become more vocal about what is going on in their neighborhoods.
Some of this is occurring because of BRAVE and recent crime-fighting efforts by law enforcement and the faith-based community, he said.
Kelly said the Police Department is continuing its efforts this year and Chief White has already met with judges to urge higher bonds for violent criminals. White also plans to continue to work closely with Moore's office to target such offenders for strict prosecution and enhanced sentences, Kelly said.
The department recently graduated a police academy and hopes to have at least one, possibly two academies, this year.
"We think the latter months of 2012 indicate that many of our department's crime-reduction efforts are starting to pay dividends," Kelly said.
Gautreaux agreed: "I've always said that crime is a community issue, and that is true. It will take all of us working together to make a difference."

Researching US civil records is relatively easy, at least compared to Irish records. For example, think about the levels of government and administration in the USA, and envision layers of transparent maps. The top map is the outline of the whole country. LIft that map, and the states fill in the borders nicely. Lift the states, and the counties fill in the state outlines, snug as a bug in a rug (are my expressions revealing my age?). And so on with cities, towns, and townships. Nice orderly layers.
Not so with Irish governmental and administrative districts--their boundaries do not stack neatly, no smaller unit within a larger unit. Rather, it seems that each type of district has its own boundaries, independent of any other governmental unit.
Irish administrative boundaries reflect the turbulent politics and history of the country. Celtic, Irish, Norman, British, and Republican administrations have all made their mark and collected their records. There are the ancient Irish kingdoms, the Gaelic lordships, the baronies, the counties, the civil/Church of Ireland parishes, the cities and towns and townlands. Throw in the Poor Law Unions, and, if you are not confused yet, you are probably very good at chess, as well as genealogy!
If you have a geographical location for your ancestors, say a county of townland, you can aid your research by learning what other divisions and districts cover that location. Some of the links posted below can help get your started. A "must have" volume for your genealogical book shelf is Brian Mitchell's A New Genealogical Atlas of Ireland. Mitchell's book has the best collection of administrative maps, as well as hard to find maps such as the Presbyterian congregations.
Make a chart listing all the districts and divisions pertinent to your ancestral location and have it handy while researching. For example, if you know the townland, you will want to record the Poor Law Union, civil parish, county, and barony in which it is located. You should also include the Church of Ireland diocese on your chart, regardless of your ancestors' religion, in case you need certain records such as wills filed in the perogative courts. Also note the pertinent religious congregations or parishes in your chart, as well as census and modern day electoral districts. Don't forget to include any estate on which your ancestor's home might have been located. When finished, your chart will be a one-stop resource guide for each ancestral location.
Noting the dates that certain records were collected at a location is also a good idea. Note the year that Griffiths Valuation was done for your county, and perhaps also record the year of the Freeholders and Tithe lists. Taking the time to note the Griffith's year for each of my counties of interest has saved me quite a bit of research time and confusion.
You might even break a brick wall by putting such a chart together because the chart will lead you to consider new record sources. For example, you might discover that estate records or Poor Law Union workhouse lists exist for your locality.Below are some links to help get you started on charting your way out of administrative confusion.

Winston-Salem church treasurer accused of embezzling thousands
Winston-Salem church treasurer accused of embezzling thousands
A volunteer treasurer of a Winston-Salem church has been arrested on suspicion of embezzling thousands of dollars from the organization.
Rose Parks Hinson, 61, was charged Monday after an investigation that began in August involving St. Benedicts the Moor Catholic Church.
Hinson, who was in charge of funds for The Saint Monica's Ladies Guild, had taken more than $4,000 from the church's checking account over a nine-month period, Winston-Salem police allege.
Hinson was charged with embezzlement and was given a written promise to appear in court Feb. 21.

Over the past week, I have noticed a very weird digital/electronic sound in the background of the audio for various channels. I watch HD exclusively and I experience this on various channels when watching sports. It is bizarre and does not happen with all channels.
Does anybody have any clue what the root cause may be of this kind of problem?
Me too, since Sat 9/17/11 I have had no sound at all on several channels. Interestingly, sometimes the sound will "pop on" for that Xfinity red couch at the football game commercial but then it goes silent when the programming resumes. There is often a slight "pop" when I change to a "silent channel" -- I'm also surprised to see that there are no service alerts for my area regarding this issue. Am I the only one with silent channels?
if you have one of the small dta boxes have you pressed the language button?
Not sure what box you mean? I have a Scientific Atlanta 8300HD that I have had for about 3 years I think. It is bizarre that it only occurs on some channels - CBSHD and FOXHD today during football games.
you have a different box than what I was talking about. I have many people here recently complaining about fox hd on sunday from different areas. Makes me think its a fox issue
I don't think so - I've experienced the problem on ESPNHD, ESPN2 HD, ESPNU HD, ABC HD. It always seem to occur during sporting events. What about all those crazy audio options with compression and stuff - what is the recommended setting for standard use?
that depends on your taste. I have mine set to advanced heavy compression. Does this happen regularly? are you hooked up to your tv hdmi? If you are you can try component cables and see what that does. Its all about trying to isolate the issue.
It's not specific to any channel, it happens on ALL channels for me. Live and not live programs. Programs I've recorded on the DVR and programs I'm watching when they are actually on. It's a pattern of electronic beeps that recurs every 5 seconds. I've noticed it since early Spring 2011, but it could have been going on longer.
So i'm thinking (unless it happens to people who have other cable companies) it must be a Comcast issue.
Has anyone tried calling Comcast to ask about it? I'm almost to that point. It happens on all shows that I watch and while some people seem not to notice it, it drives me to distraction and I can't pay attention to what I'm watching.
i knew i wasn't crazy and it's cetainly a significant issue. I am watching TerraNova on Fox HD tonight and every 5 seconds i can hear the digital "beeping" type sound and it is terrible. I've contacted Comcast and of course the idiots say they have no knowledge of this type of issue. I have an appointment setup for sunday but i have extremely low confidence they will resolve the issue.
I have had this sound issue on Fox HD since mid September - most noticably during Fox NFL sunday broadcasts.
I have 2 different Tvs hooked up via HDMI. Both Cisco RNG200N boxes (HD DVRs). The sound is on both TVs so it is either a Comcast or Fox issue.
The sound is an electronic sounding noise (sounds like a video game background music) every couple of seconds. Very annoying.
Comcast, please address this.
Update: I had a Comcast technician at my place today. I recorded a football game broadcast from ESPN2 HD yesterday that you can clearly hear the underlying digital/electronic sound. The tech claimed NOT to be able to hear the sound. He did some basic diagnostic test and said my signal might be too STRONG. Then checked the connection at the drop box and said he submitted a maintenance ticket for the drop box.
The problem still continues this afternoon while watching NFL on Fox HD and CBS HD.
Comcast - please have an expert provide a resolution to this problem.
Having the EXACT same problem. I thought maybe it was my TV. Glad I'm not crazy. It's hit or miss on which channels. It's not just FOX. But it's always when watching HD. Making me crazy!
I'm having the same problem as well. It's driving me crazy. It almost sounds like an old-school cell phone ring in the background. I find it's mostly on programs I've recorded on my dvr. It's not just Fox or ESPN - I've been getting it on ABC, CBS and TBS as wll. It seems to be coming through during tv programs, but not during commercials. I also seem to notice it pops up more often if there is applause or cheering.
I don't have HD. Using a cisco DVR machine.
So glad I browsed the forum, I have the same issue mostly noticed w/ fox, I do not use a converter box.
(sometimes I watch thru dta) BUT I heard it on the tv when it was using antenna setting hd fox ota so I think its a fox issue I cant attest to the sports channels.
Anyway I thought I was bananas, thanks for posting it! I do think Ive heard it on others but cant be sure off the bat I do know fox because I was watching terra nova too but w/ antenna hd lcd digital tv.
I'm sorry that everyone is having the same issues with their cable services. Can everyone follow these troubleshooting steps for me:
1. Unplug the coax cable cord from your Cable box and look at the wire and make sure it's straight and has no damages to it.
2. Plug the coax cord back in making sure it's tight and secure.
3. If you have splitters please check those connection and make sure there's no damage and that they are plugged in tight and secure.
4. Unplug your box from the wall outlet for 2minutes.
5. Give your TV and cable box at least 15minutes to reboot and the guide to start loading for you before attempting to change channels. If this doesn't work please let me know a technician may be required to resolve any further issues.
****Your cable guide and on demand may take up to 45minutes to fully restore.
Try unplugging the TV and the connection from the antenna to your TV set. Make sure that connection is working. Does this happen when you are watching movies through a DVD player? If so it may be your TV.
Does this happen on your other TV's that have the cable boxes connected to them?
This problem is on all my TV's. It is not the TV's. It is the comcast signal or the boxes. I recently moved and it was not occurring on my TV's prior to the move. Really annoying. I have now been experiencing the problem more often. At first it was only on Fox HD on Sunday nfl. Now it is only more channels... tbs, tnt. etc.
It is obviously the comcast signal. Does not happen on DVD's or streaming (non-comcast) movies.
P.S. I just got a new TV and it is even happening on the new TV. THis is further evidence that it is on Comcast's end.
Please help
Im experiencing the same exact problem. Ive tried all suggested troubleshooting suggestion to no avail. The sound is most prevalent during live TV, such as sports games. People all over the country are also experiencing the same sound, and there are even youtube videos pointing out the sound. I even read an article that says the sound was heard by hundreds of people during the Emmys.
Comcast Technician - I am watching the ALDS baseball game on TBS HD and can hear the electroning/digital beeping the backgroun of the audio as clear as day.
You have a global issue - that's evident from the responses in the thread. Please do something to resolve the issue or we need to consider alternatives.
I am still having the problem and a Comcast tech is coming tomorrow. I cannot wait for that complete waste of time. I guarantee the problem will not be solved even with the tech coming.
Plus, I have googled this problem and found several other posts about it. It looks like this problem is not isolated to comcast - the various posts mentioned the problem also on Verizon Fios and Directtv.
so its the network not the carrier so the whole thread is a waste of time.
Sorry about the issues you are experiencing. I have escalated all the issues you posted on this thread. tvaholic7,pangbun,vayankeegrl ,Shelli225,Sarliza and stayready someone will be in contact with you soon.
I see your work order for a tech today. I have escalated to have someone followup after the technician leaves to ensure everything was resolved.
please send me a private message with your customer account number and put this post in the body so that I can get this issue escalated for you as well.
I am listening to the Seahawks-Giants football game on Fox, and I notice that the noise (seven distinct harpsichord-like tones recurring every five seconds) only happens during the live broadcast segments from the field. The tones are not present during the studio broadcasts or during advertising.
The noise was also present last night during the Tigers-Rangers baseball game last night. I have a set-top converter with rabbit ears. I've heard this noise for many months, but only during live sports events. Since others have said the noise was present during the Emmys, I think the problem might lie with the network's remote broadcast equipment and not with the carriers or with customer's equipment.
Keisha - how do I send you a private message?
Click on Keisha's name in red and then you will see "send a private message" on the right side.
I recently moved and I had DirecTV at the old place. I noticed the sound when football started back in August. I still notice it now, however mainly on ABC or ESPN. So it seems it is the networks.
This is all HD channels too, I can't comment on SD channels.
ptghokie ----
Thank you for your private message. I have escalated your issue and someone will be in contact with you to resolve this for you.
I have directv also and the issue is primarily on ABC/ESPN channels during live sports/shows. I was told that you need to contact the broadcasting company directly so they can investigate. I'm not holding out much hope that my complaint to ABC will be passed to an engineer.
Been having the same problem the last few months. Notice it on ABC mostly, interestingly it doesn't occur during the commercials. It occurs on multiple TVs with different types of boxes. Have unplugged cable, power with no luck.
I have the same problem. It happens on both of my tvs. It does not happen when i am watching a dvd or playing a video game. Please help.
Keystonecruiser, Turner_Fam234 and aschmid1---
Sorry about the issues you are having. Have you tried the above troubleshooting steps first? If not please try them they have resolve most customers issues.
If you have and these steps did not work please let me know.
Keystonecruiser, Turner_Fam234 and aschmid1---
Sorry about the issues you are having. Have you tried the above troubleshooting steps first? If not please try them they have resolve most customers issues.
If you have and these steps did not work please let me know.
I am also having this problem. My parents also.
We live in opposite ends of town and experience the same faint beeping.
This has been happening for a few months. My particular cable setup was performed
by a comcast installer. I don't buy that it is an issue with a coax or splitter.
It is extremely frustrating as it comes and goes.
It is mostly during movies and happens alot on AMC and TBS.
This is a joke.
Sorry for the inconvenience you are having. Does this happen with all your cable boxes or just one?
Do you have anything covering your cable box like a DVD player or anything on top of it where it's not able to breathe properly?
I have escalated your issue and someone will be in contact with you soon.
This problem was so glaringly evident during the Stanford/Oregon last night on ABC HD. There is an almost constant "digital beeping" in the background of the audio. ABC or ESPN has to be aware of the problem or made aware of the problem. Is there ANYTHING that Comcast can do to help its customers?
Can Comcast at least verify that the problem is at the source? If not, I need to find an alternative like Direct TV or something.
Sorry for the inconvenience. Is this the first time you experienced beeping?
Do you have anything covering the air vents on your box like a DVD player sitting on top of your cable box?
If so, remove it and see if the beeping stops. I want to make sure your box is not trying to over heat. Try unplugging it for 5 minutes.
If this doesn't help in a private message can you send me your comcast account number so that I can look deeper into this issue.
I am hearing this now on the American Music Awards. So annoying!
Also heard it on American Music Awards - made it unwatchable. It's also very prevalent right now during the Michigan-Ohio State game. It is to the point now that the issue is driving me crazy. It has been about three months now, and no matter what I do and no matter what Comcast tries, the problem is never fixed.
I've tried digital audio, analog audio, and hdmi audio through a receiver and through my TV. I've changed the coaxial cable. We experience the issue on all of our cable boxes. I've called Comcast several times regarding this issue, but every time they act as if they've never heard of the issue. They've sent me new boxes for all of our TVs, which was an annoying process to setup all of our series recordings, etc., but the issue remains on every new box.
For us, it is most noticeable during live events, particularly sports. It is not channel specific, but abc/espn, fox, and cbs are the worst.
A change must have been made, either by Comcast or the broadcasters, in how they deliver audio. All of us started experiencing the issue around the same time. When I ask tech support if they are aware of any changes, they always say no. If that is true, then why do all of my family/friends with directv have no problems?
I feel I've done all I can at this point, changing equipment and having tech support out to our place multiple times. If this isn't acknowledged/addressed, let alone fixed, I'll have no choice but to switch services. It is unacceptable to pay the amount of money we pay per month to deal with an issue like this.
I have the exact same problem, although only on fox hd for football games. tried the recommended troubleshoot, but did not work. Thought I was going insane. Currently watching the Cotton Bowl and can still here it every 5 seconds...
I have had this problem for several months.
Posted in another thread.
Comcast emailed me to tell me they would look into and get back to me.
Never happened.
I know other households with the problem and they are using different tvs and comcast boxes.
Good luck, comcast doesn't care.
Definitely annoying. This electronic sounds reoccurs every 4.5 seconds. You can hear it the loudest during scenes without music or dialogue.
Sounds like a 1980s computer generated sound. A series of 6 to 8 high frequency audible tones.
Once you hear it, it's hard to enjoy anything your watching, this noise gives me a head ache.
When dialogue overlaps voices during the programming, the sound comes out metallic.
I already called Comcast to register a complaint.
I Googled this issue and people across the country are complaining.
This noise may be something called a Nielsen audio watermark or fingerprint, used to identify programming for data collection.
Comcast please help resolve this awful implementation of bad technology.
My friends experienced this, so I decided to look into it.
A few of us noticed that it went away when we switched from listening in stereo to listening in 5.1 surround. Which makes us think that it is an encoding/decoding problem.
Is anyone experiencing this when listening to both typical stereo sound coming from their TV as well as 5.1 in HD?
If you are having no sound a DTA press the LANG button on the DTA remote.

Posted on 01/21/2003 6:14:33 PM PST by steplock
EU give swings the push
A VILLAGE had to get rid of its playground swings because Euro rules say they are too TALL.
The three swings were erected more than 25 years ago.
Kids playing on them have suffered nothing worse than a grazed knee ever since.
But now Brussels bureaucrats have introduced a new maximum height order for swings throughout the UK.
The EU edict, European Standard BS EN 11 76, states the height of childrens swings must be no more than three metres (9ft 10ins).
The set at the park in Great Somerford, Wilts, are 60cm (2ft) over the limit.
The directive also includes a mind-boggling set of other rules including the distance from the seats to the frame and to the ground.
The Great Somerford swings were condemned during a routine inspection by playground equipment firm Wicksteed Leisure last month.
Now the seats have been removed to stop kids using the swings and a notice has gone up explaining why.
It has left Sarah Beeby, 11, Hannah Lonford-Brown, ten, and Luke Whitmarsh and Jacob Botterill, both five, bitterly disappointed.
Little Luke said: Its very sad. The parks not exciting any more.
The EU standard is NOT law, but failing to comply could leave the parish council open to legal action if a child were injured.
The council is trying to raise £4,000 to get new swings. It cant simply raise the ground around the exisiting frames because steps arent allowed in playgrounds either.
Chairman Toby Sturgis said: These are barmy regulations.
Enjoy. Five pipes, four chains, two slabs of leather - total cost, $15
What does BS EN stand for? Bull S*** European Number?
It really sad when a continent, even wosre when it is one that is run by a single governing board, is worrying over the height of children's swingsets. Certainly there are more important things to worry about.
You don't get it do you. It's "For the Children"... (And to keep the government employees employeed).
Now that they have the regulations, think of all the people that can be employeed. I.E. The ones to inspect the playgrounds. The managers to manage these people.

The scavengers in the middle supply you with enough peace time to build up and develop your base, but if you want to beat the challenge quickly enough, you'd have to take the initiative yourself.

I was first signed up with a competitor of yours... however, I grew tired of writing to people I did not get responses from (couldn't tell how old the listings were) and was getting closer to D-Day when I decided to sign up for your service. I think the room-mail feature is great. It allows you to remain confidential until you're more comfortable and I loved the resources page you made available. I was able to use several of the links you provided. Of course, best of all...I found my new roommate and renter here! Thanks Much - Michelle
When my roommate backed out at the last second I was in a huge bind to find a place. I found more than enough great options for me. Within two days I had made contact with several renters and narrowed it down to my top 2 or 3. After that it was history. I really value your service - this is simply the best roommate site on the internet. Hands down. Now I gotta go move, see ya! - Ben

Each cup of Organicoa's hot cocoa is crafted with Dagoba cocoa beans (which are sourced through sustainable cacao farms), organic vegan cane sugar, and locally sourced organic milk. Their cups, lids, and sleeves are made from recycled and compostable materials.
We recommend grabbing a cup and enjoying it on the sundeck.
